Wife in My Heart
Thrash metal meets post-punk with fast punk drive, sharp swung attack, and a haunted half-time turn in the chorus; verses ride sparse acoustic fingerpicking under mournful electric stabs, pre-chorus strips to tom hits and low bass rumble, chorus slams in with jagged gang shouts and reverb-soaked guitar leads. Raw close-mic male vocals with doubled hook lines, a few cracked ad-libs, tape-slap throws, reversed swells, and a dry-to-roomy mix that feels intimate, bruised, and loud., punk, acoustic, rock, metal, slow, raw, deep, metal guitar, emotional, soft

Lyrics
Verse 1
I keep your cup by the sink
Cracked lip, blue rim
I still count two spoons
Like you never left
Your coat on the chair
Still knows your shape
I pass that doorway slow
Like it might bite back
Pre-Chorus
And I bite my tongue
Till it tastes like rust
I hear your name
In the floorboards dust
Chorus
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
You live right here
You live right here
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
I tear the night
You keep me here
Verse 2
I burned your note once
Kept the ash in my palm
It rolled like a secret
Through my shaking thumb
The house holds your laugh
In the fridge hum low
In the cut on my hand
In the rain on the road
Pre-Chorus
And I lash out loud
But I fold back in
I call your ghost
Like a wound I defend
Chorus
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
You live right here
You live right here
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
I tear the night
You keep me here
Bridge
Half-time break
If I go too far
Pull me back by the scar
If I lose my face
Find me where you are
Final Chorus
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
You live right here
You live right here
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
I tear the night
You keep me here
Wife in my heart
Wife in my heart
Till my bones go cold
You keep me here
